Hi, I would like to add that implementing this has the technical consequence that either a document must be scanned more than once, because the style sheet may very well be at the end of it. This depends on the XML vocabulary. It therefore goes a bit against a web-architecture rule that says that the UA should start displaying content as soon as possible and not wait until the entire document is fetched. Werner.
